Websites
Why is a website important?
Your church’s website is the frontline for your entire ministry. It’s where first impressions are formed. It’s how you get discovered. It’s wildly cost-effective. It’s quick and easy to change. It’s always accessible. It’s where new visitors are introduced to you.
And it’s where existing members can find the information they need. Your website can facilitate signups for events and ministries. It can accept donations and process giving. It’s the hub for service times, building locations, phone numbers, email addresses, maps & directions, and more! Your church’s website is the most important outreach tool you have at your disposal.
